It costs those students about $125,000 to take a 9 month course with you that will prepare them to land a job where salaries begin at $30,000 a year.

the neoliberalism is coming from inside the house
Honestly, the gall to run a predatory scam on your students and then cast yourself as some sort of revolutionary champion. GTFO

in periods of low demand and low inflation it is good for the government to spend more and tax less

in periods of high demand and high inflation it is good for the government to spend less and tax more
frankly, fiscal policy that eases inflation by cutting, say, wasteful biofuel subsidies or borderline fraudulent overcharging by defense contractors and raising taxes on the affluent is a lot better way to fight inflation than interest rate hikes that wreck housing production
there’s a defense contractor that overbilled the DoD as much as 3,800%(!!!) for equipment…seems like there’s room for some austerity there pogo.org/analysis/2022/…

It really feels like the whole windowless bedroom debate has become unmoored from two basic facts:

1) The only reason they’re being pitched is because it is very hard to convert dying downtown office space to housing
2) Windowless bedroom =\= Windowless apartment
This is only being proposed because there is a big public interest in converting office spaces to housing and it is just extremely expensive and difficult to do so, it’s not something people want to be widespread
This is an example…the office conversion on the right has a windowless bedroom, but it opens to a living room with windows—so if you want natural light, you can just leave your bedroom door open. Not ideal, but if people want office -> housing to happen, it can help in a pinch

If I wrote “DSA electeds oppose housing projects on principle” I feel like people in DSA would be mad at me, but this DSA member just…wrote it out, proudly…?
I think folks fundamentally disagree on the scale of the housing shortage. If we had perfect rent control—your rent can never go up—and perfect eviction control—you can never be evicted—I still believe you’d need to build a ton of housing, because lots of people do not have homes
And I know social housing is in there, but it’s tossed off as almost an after-thought and the scale of its need isn’t really addressed

On a more abstract level, DSA’s embrace of the “we should negotiate every housing project as an individual ‘deal,’ and that deal is never good enough” framework has done more to dissuade me from flirting with socialism in the past few years than anything else
The housing debate, because it is one of the few areas in American public policy where each instance of capitalist production is negotiated via political process, has provided me a microcosm of how, in practice, socialists would want to run America, and the results…are not great
Like if every time you wanted to start an online dog toy store, you had to go through 5-6 years of permits, endure appeals by your competitors, undergo an intensive political campaign, negotiate pay-offs to politically connected folks via “value-capture…

Shameless engagement bait, but this DeSantis three fingered pudding thing has me genuinely curious: what weird way that you eat food would result in a scandal if you were a politician?
What I’m learning is that you people are sick little freaks
TIL many people eat the skin in kiwi

Genuinely baffled that the idea that “if someone is smoking fentanyl or otherwise making people feel unsafe on a train, it is fine to firmly but politely insist they leave the train” is a giant controversy On Here…no one needs to go to jail, they just need to get off the train
Also, there’s a lot of potential in the unarmed ambassador model—BART has had some success with it. If you look official and firmly insist someone cut it out, most of the time…they do bart.gov/news/articles/…
Every time I’ve been on a bus and anyone has acted up, the bus driver yells “CUT IT OUT” and they meekly sink into their chair and get off on the next stop
